In the heart of the picturesque Fox River Valley of Wisconsin sits the History Museum at the Castle. Imagine holding your event in a historic, castle-like setting, where Egyptian and medieval motifs are found in every room and lofty galleries. The History Museum at the Castle’s unique Masonic Temple architecture and historic charm create the perfect backdrop for your important occasion, from corporate retreat to wedding reception.

Built in the late 1920s as a Masonic Temple, the History Museum at the Castle is on the National Register of Historic Places. Its graceful wood arches and castle-like doors set the stage for your unique event. In addition, as home to a major international collection of artifacts related to renowned illusionist Harry Houdini, the Museum is sure to lend an atmosphere of magic to your gathering.

The Seikman Room has high mullioned leaded windows on three walls, terazzo floors and an exhibit of historic paintings and stained glass windows. Two sets of French doors open on the large lobby gallery which has tile floors, beamed ceiling and six-foot fireplace.

Ogilvie Hall is a large hall with heavy beamed ceilings, carpeted floor, stage area and vintage lighting fixtures. The 1926 Austin pipe organ used by the Masons in their rituals is in working order and available for use with a rental.

Use of the castle includes five wooded acres with more than 9,000 trees, providing a quiet and peaceful place for strategic planning, continuous improvement and teambuilding.

Transport your event and your participants into the realm of the Museum at the Castle - and the rest is history.
